Is it impossible, in this day and age, to enjoy a post without thinking about LLMs? It's like an obsession.
- generationP 2y agoNope, but this post is such a neat illustration of the richness of "life" that fits into 39 real parameters (each circle can be coordinatized as 3 real numbers: one for its radius and two for its center) that my first thought on seeing it was also "no surprise then that a matrix with a million entries can talk like an erudite person".
- floxy 2y agoWouldn't you also need a two parameters for the arc starting position and stopping position for each circle, and then a few more to identify the areas that need to be filled, along with the color?
- laurentlb 2y agoOnce you've drawn the circles, I think you just need to specify which regions are filled. Arcs are just intersection of circles, so they are implicit, as far as I can tell.
- jstanley 2y agoAnd all of those are simply translation and scaling of 36 parameters with an implicit unit circle at the origin. Then if you want to factor out rotations, drop another parameter and say the 1st explicit circle lies on the x axis.
- y1n0 2y agoIt should be obvious that this is entirely up to the reader. Take some responsibility for your own happiness. Nobody else is responsible for your enjoyment of anything.
- elpocko 2y agoYes, it is impossible. People will think about things they find interesting regardless of your (dis-)approval. Who are you even calling "obsessive?" The collective of people who dare to mention algorithms you don't like? I mean, what the fuck?
- albedoa 2y agoCalm down dude, for fuck's sake. Read yourself back.
- ajross 2y agoWell, sort of? I mean, I've seen plenty of clever art in my life. I'm still figuring out AI. I posted that in the hope that someone in the community here would show up with something insightful to say.
